Bricks 1.9.4 added the ability to set the site in Maintenance or Coming soon mode. We can also optionally select a template to be used for the same.
Here are the steps to use the maintenance feature in Bricks:
Step 1
Create a template of type ‘Single’ named say, “Maintenance”.
Edit it with Bricks and add your desired elements.
To disable header and footer, click on Settings (gear icon) → PAGE SETTINGS → GENERAL.
If you’d like to use a starter sample, here’s the JSON of the template shown in the above screenshot.
Note: Uses ACSS variables.
Step 2
Go to Bricks → Settings → Maintenance mode.
Select the template from the above step and save settings.
By default maintenance mode is set to be bypassed for all logged-in users i.e., everyone except logged-in users will see the site as being under maintenance.
If you’d like to enable the maintenance mode for everyone except the site admin, set the last dropdown to “Logged-in users with role”.
When the maintenance mode is on, Bricks adds a handy link in the WP admin bar.
